Psychotherapists and clinical psychologists with experience in psychodiagnosis, counselling, ADHD therapy (including adult ADHD)
Psychotherapists can conduct psychotherapy sessions (the non-medication component of ADHD treatment).
Clinical psychologists can assist in the clinical assessment process by interpreting questionnaires and various measurement scales within the diagnostic process for ADHD. Although they can provide a so-called psychodiagnosis, this does NOT have medical value and represents, despite the confusing name, only a risk assessment.
Only a doctor can provide a formal ADHD diagnosis, with medical value, and can also issue prescriptions for drug treatment.
Some psychologists or psychotherapists also have the dual profession of psychiatrist.
